[Verse 1: Royce da 5’9" & 6 July]
Uhh, yeah, my conference calls with 'Los and Kino
Consists of...
Nigga tone it down, there's way too much killin'
Of course I ignore 'em, a poor man talks
I don't give a fuck if I throw my core fans off
Pathetic war done entered my brain
And permanently changed me
Now I'm angry so fuck a metaphor
Fuck hip-hop, hip-hop sucks!
You got, niggas on top swingin' from 2Pac's nuts!
It's like I could go in the lab
And try to write somethin' that's nice or bright
But I would be holdin' back
My strength in the dark
Deep-rooted soldier inside my soul
Uncontrollable temper like the Hulk's
My wife don't like my album, it's way too dark for women
She say it sound like I hold grudges
She rather listen to Joe Budden's, no disrespect aight?
But fuck a party now and everybody like

[Hook: Royce da 5’9” & Carlos "6 July" Broady]
What's wrong witchu nigga? Every song you killin'
Every rhyme you spit is violently put
Lethal, but I have no problem
With puttin' this gun down and beatin' yo' ass up
I was taught rhyme from the heart, they will feel you
I like the dark, you cut on them lights, I will kill you
Something's wrong with him

[Bridge: 6 July]
Just like his pops
He don't give a fuck if you like him or not
He's a major problem

[Verse 2: Royce da 5'9" & 6 July]
I will slap yo' ass in church
And apologize to Jesus later, punk!
Why am I hot and you not, and why is you rich?
And why I ain't got shit in my pocket but lint?
This ain't rap no mo', this not a flow, this is beef
There's a couple street niggas that got to go (Blaow!)
My name is Nickel (Haha)
I'm from the suburbs (Yeah!)
It's only a ten-minute drive to come and get you (Yeah)
Tired of you hoes
I will slap snot sideways outta ya nose, partner! (Partner!)
I know we got drama
But I will still show up at your funeral
And hug your ugly-ass momma
Everybody wanna know why the flow is so bad
(Why is you so mad?) Everybody askin'

[Hook: Royce da 5’9” & 6 July]
What's wrong witchu nigga? Every song you killin'
Every rhyme you spit is violently put
Lethal, but I have no problem
With puttin' this gun down and beatin' yo' ass up
I was taught rhyme from the heart, they will feel you
I like the dark, you cut on them lights, I will kill you
Something's wrong with him

[Verse 3: Royce da 5’9”]
I'm a natural since I wrote "Black Girl"
I hope that you don't think that I won't smack yo' bitch
'Cause I will clap her if she happen to be witchu', when I kill you
You can get ideas, nobody compares you thugs
I will put out the bub on top of yo' head
This .22 rifle be shootin' them bouncin' bullets
The enter into your head and exit out yo' foot
Ride off as soon as my clip turns, you click and
(*click click, boom*)
Them choppers is lookin' for eyeballs (yeah)
You could bring yo' roughest, toughest thug
That's jealous just tell him to touch me, I will fuck him up!
I will knock his ass out
And if I can't beat him I will grab my heater and pop his ass!
Fuck yo' life, stripes I will shock yo' hood
And I ain't never dyin', knock on wood, what up 'Los?

[Hook: Royce da 5’9” & 6 July]
What's wrong witchu nigga? Every song you killin'
Every rhyme you spit is violently put
Lethal, but I have no problem
With puttin' this gun down and beatin' yo' ass up
I was taught rhyme from the heart, they will feel you
I like the dark, you cut on them lights, I will kill you

Royce da 5'9", real name Ryan Daniel Montgomery, is undoubtedly one of the underground rap kings of Detroit. The Michigan MC is a long-time collaborator of Eminem’s, meeting him in December 1997, and is noted as one of the greatest lyricists in hip-hop’s history (in 2012, The Source ranked him as the 48th greatest lyricist of all time in their top 50, this questionable ranking unsurprisingly being scrutinized by many as a gross misjudgment).

Although critics have previously cast shade on his ability to create a well-rounded body of work, many, critics included, considered his sophomore effort, Death is Certain (2004), to be a strong album. To learn more in-depth about his solo discography, read this page (the page listed is old, so it is not updated).

Royce is the Bad half of Bad Meets Evil (with Eminem), ¼ of Slaughterhouse (alongside Crooked I KXNG CROOKED, Joe Budden and Joell Ortiz), and ½ of PRhyme (with DJ Premier). Royce currently operates a independent record label, Bad Half Entertainment.
